How long should i give it before i start looking for changes in the plants? I know it will probably take a few days, so after a week should I start thinking about modifying the doses more if need be?
alia258 said:I'm not sure how long you have to wait till you see a change in the anacharis, but I have some half dead ones, and I pulled off all the brown leaves to promote new growth, so I'm in the same waiting boat as you. I've got alot of little stems that I need to wait and see how fast it grows. I'll tell you if I see some growth, and you can tell me if you see some growth, and then we can compare our methods ^^
Oh...hmmm...I have some melon swords that are getting holes in the leavs, maybe those are similar enough? Do you have any other stem plants? Or is it possible that I confused your thread with another? I'm sure someone on here had issues with an anacharis, saying that they kept melting...well I hope I can help you anyway! ^^
You should notice some subtle changes after your first week and it should be dramatic changes as time goes on with you using the dry ferts.

Does the amount that i dosed look alright or do you think i should modify it some?
Discusapisto said:Your doing it right start off with recommended doses and increase accordingly to your plants needs whether it be increasing one or more of the nutrients. Each species especially stem plants have certain needs some in more ways than others.

aqua_chem said:EI assumes co2 isnt a limiting factor and medium light. If you're not injecting co2, you'll need to reduce dosing appropriately.
But as previously mentioned, you'll see last weeks results this week and next week, and so on.

skywhitney said:So, another question....Lol
CO2 bosters and/or injection. I'm guessing the booster just "boosts" or intensifies the amount of CO2 thats available in the tank?
I obviouly understand how injection works, but would the booster be beneficial in any way with concurrent injection?
